Experience Matters

As an employer of over 350 people I can spot great team members, leaders and dedicated employees very easy. Jacqelle Lane has the skill set that an employer would dream of. She cares more than her industry requires, her work ethic is admired by her peers and her passion is displayed daily. She is always thinking of what is best for her students and how she can make an impact in their lives. She would be an immediate role model in any career she enters because of her positive mindset to be the best she can possibly be not just once in a while but always.

There are few people I know that display the level of work ethic and passion that Jacqelle Lane does. I have known her personally and professionally for several years and can attest to the fact that she is completely devoted and committed to her work as an educator and mentor to our youth. She goes above and beyond for her students, selflessly giving of herself whether it be a small cake to celebrate her students' accomplishments or providing school supplies for those students that do not have the means to purchase them. Jacqelle possesses the level of integrity and dependability that I look for and value in business partners making her a tremendous asset to any team lucky enough to have her. Jacqelle plays an integral role in shaping the culture of the school by serving as a member of the MTTS-B committee, which is charged with creating a restorative and positively reinforced school behavior plan. Jacqelle has been an integral part of this committee; attending conferences, researching classroom management strategies, and leading teacher training sessions. Jacqelle has proven to be a motivated, forward-thinking professional and is an asset to any pursuit she undertakes.

Teacher at Omaha Public Schools
I had the great fortune of being Jacqelle's colleague. She immediately stood out to me as a person who has a persistent and unwavering focus on driving success for herself and those around her. On a regular basis I saw her work with both adults and youth who on their bad days could be challenging, obstinate, or flat out difficult. Jacqelle always maneuvered these situations with grace, determination, and a smile on her face. I was continually impressed with her professionalism; her ability to champion what was best for those with whom she worked while always exhibiting a positive and infections disposition. In a short period of time, she became a good friend and confidant who was quick to support and listen when I needed it most. She was always there for a great laugh or an infectious story as well. Most importantly, she wanted to celebrate the successes. I have fond memories working with Jacqelle, and highly recommend anyone jump at the opportunity to work with her or partner with her.
